Description

Ojai Syrah 1998Thompson Vineyard
Bottle (6)
Provenance: Property of a Los Angeles gentleman. Almost all wines
were purchased winery-direct and sent directly to the client's
professional wine storage facility where they have remained for
decades. Many wines have been sampled from this cellar and all have
been in spectacular condition.

"The dense black/purple-colored 1998 Syrah Thompson Vineyard
(300 cases) displays tell-tale notes of creosote, cassis,
blackberries, scorched earth, and smoke. Although it exhibits
tannin, there is more than enough richness to balance it out.
Full-bodied, mouth-filling, and impressive, it should drink well
for 12-15 years." (94pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #139, Feb
2002)
